Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color In Punch Drunk

Punch Drunk is one of seven
available shades of High Gloss Lip Color from Urban Decay. I must say I first
fell in love with the brand when I bought some of their eye shadows. And now I
love it even more for their beautiful Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Colors.

Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Punch Drunk

I chose Punch Drunk as I thought
it was a great colour for the summer and it especially would go well with a bit
of tan – what we all wish for during the summer months! I would describe it as
spicy orange – an orange shade with a hint of red. Punch Drunk is a very
bright, completely opaque and shiny lip color with a bit of shimmer in the
formula. It’s not as shiny as the title suggests (high gloss) but it’s
definitely on the shiner side (more like a shiny lipstick than a lipgloss). It’s
very soft and feels creamy when applying to the lips. It’s not as enjoyable as
new Revlon Lip Butters (look below – I totally fell for them) but it still
feels lovely. The colour pay off is absolutely great (same when it comes to
their eye shadows!) and it stays on for quite a while – about 4-6 hours.

I think the closest
high-street match I own is Collection 2000 Lasting Colour Lipstick in Orange
Punch except the fact that it’s slightly lighter and less red. It also isn’t
shimmery.READ MORE:

In general I love the
idea of a lip colour in a pencil because I think it’s easier to apply that way
and you have more freedom to your hand movements so you can be more precise. What
I don’t like is that you waste quite a lot of product by sharpening it. And
it’s a quite expensive product to not feel sad about that fact. That’s the
downside of having a lip colour in a pencil form but I guess you can’t have
everything.

Overall, I really like it
and will think of purchasing other shades as well. It feels comfortable, it
looks like high-end product, it’s very pigmented and it’s portable – except
from the sharpening issue, what else could you wish for? (well, maybe lower
price but that’s just me being fussy). A.
